The Nightwatchman

So the first week of Principal Photography on “The Nightwatchman” has wrapped. This had to be one of the most grueling shoots I’ve worked on, as far as location goes…. It’s an old mill with a fascinating story, but it’s also dirty, moldy, and damp, with no running water. After seven days in this place, I really learned to appreciate clean laundry and a shower! However for a horror film, you couldn’t find or build a better set.

Below are some pic’s I snapped while shooting.

A Sneak Peek…

Here’s your first sneek peak at the score for Donkey. This is cue 33a, otherwise known as “Sundown”. Enjoy.

More Donkey Guitar…

Here’s some pics of the studio sessions with Jackson Langley of 80 Proof Yob for the Donkey Soundtrack. One of the hardest parts of having a someone that good play is deciding what ultimately gets used and what doesn’t. 80 Proof Yob’s “Wrecking Ball” is also featured in the opening credits.

Donkey Style…

Busily cranking out the score for Adrian Langley’s latest… “Donkey”. There’s a lot of guitars on this one:

Well okay… it’s not QUITE the same as a stack of Marshalls… but it keeps the neighbours from complaining when I record past 11pm!
